Bulgarian public and non governmental organisations active in the field of security, migration, anti trafficking, fight against corruption

Upon accession of Bulgaria on 1 January 2007, certain weaknesses in the security system remained. Although Bulgaria has recently strengthened its prosecution, initiated structural reforms in revenue and customs agencies and started work on an anti-corruption strategy, there is still a need for steps to further improve judicial practice and a continued improvement of the way the judiciary, police and other investigative bodies are structured, managed and cooperate.

The purpose of the Thematic Fund Security is to address Schengen related issues and contribute to enhancing socially related security as well as to fighting against corruption and organized crime.

Activities are primarily the implementation of 10 to 12 projects and joint projects between Swiss and Bulgarian institutions amounting to CHF 100’000 to CHF 1’500’000. Projects will support exchange of know-how, training, acquisition of material, institutional development.

The expected results are:

• 10 to 12 projects, mainly joint projects between Swiss and Bulgarian institutions are successfully realized
• The achievements of the projects are broadly communicated
